Anybody can point me the steps to successful install VAAPI under Ubuntu? Last week I tried several times diferent drivers, libs, packages and nothing work.
Actually I'm using Ubuntu Lucid under Inter C2D 3.0Ghz, with ATI Radeon HD-3870 graphics card.I already installed ATI Drivers (Catalyst) latest version (11).
What exactly I need to install? Catalysthacks [URL].. can solve my problems?
Have anyone tried enabling libvdpau, libva (vaapi) and MPlayer with the proprietary Nvidia driver? Does it actually work on slackware stable/current? (Lower cpu utilization during HD decoding) Is this the correct installation workflow?
- libvdpau SBo
- libva SBo
- Nvidia driver SBo/proprietary
- vdpau-video SBo
- ffmpeg/MPlayer from SBo/slackware/alien
I am trying to get mplayer-vaapi working on my system, so I can watch 1080p videos with hardware acceleration (and to remove the tear effect).
Anyway I am having trouble getting VA Api to work correctly. I have extensively google-ed around, and I cannot find a way to fix this problem.
Here is the output for vainfo (the error from vainfo is the same as mplayer-vaapi):
Code:
libva: libva version 0.31.1-sds1
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
[Code].....
but I have found that:
1. The Xlib error shouldn't matter
2. I do have an fglrx_drv_video.so file in /usr/lib/va/drivers
3. I have installed the latest libva amd64 deb package
4. I have installed the latest xvba amd64 deb package
I am running Lucid on 2.6.34-020634-generic kernel (with a patched fglrx module). I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5800 Series card.
Also before I found the deb package for libva I followed this tutorial to compile it (some things had to be tweaked for it to compile successfully) [URL]. But I did reinstall libva when I found the .deb package.
I tried to install mplayer vaapi on my Acer 1810tz with Ubuntu 10.10 with no success.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm owning an old single Core AMD (Opteron 148, like Athlon 64 3200+), it can't play h264 1080p-Videos without framedrops in active scenes. I'm also owning an not so old AMD/Ati Radeon HD 2400. It's not an UVD2 card, it's not even UVD+, its UVD i.e. UVD1. All articles regarding GPU h264 decoding I've found so far are saying "for vaapi gpu decoding on linux you need to have a UVD2 card". That's wrong! My UVD1-Card is playing fine some demo movies.
Setup:
Ubuntu "Lucid" 10.4
"deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/cutting-edge-multimedia/ubuntu lucid main" in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cutting-edge-multimedia.list

(With the original Ubuntu Lucid fglrx (8.723) there's some error, I don't remember the words. It doesn't work for me)It's working. I can play h.264 HD Videos with mplayer and decode it with a Radeon GPU. vlc 1.2 not working so far. It seems it's decoding fine, but screen remains green. Here's a screenshot, no fake! It's a two Monitor setup with fglrx' big Desktop. On the right there's running a movie Trailer (I Am Legend) and on the left there's some status info. Quality is not perfect (as you can see, horizontal displacement), but it's basically working.
I've seen several threads in Ubuntu regarding implementing vaapi/xvba enabled media players for ATI GPU rendering. Does anyone know of any precompiled rpms for 11.3 (or tips for building on opensuse). I've installed Hellgasts xvba-video-amd rpms from the build service. I wasn't able to successfully build my own mplayer-vaapi from Index of /~gbeauchesne/mplayer-vaapi.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an integrated intel video and latest xserver-xorg-video-intel driver(using only stable repo). Now I wanna watch high-res video. From the bits of info collected from all over internet I understood that I need to:
1.aptitude install libdrm libva.
2.compile or find the .deb mplayer-vaapi and install it.
3.add -vo vaapi -va vaapi to the mplayer command line in gnome-mplayer.
My question : is that correct or did I miss something? Do I have to compile latest libdrm and libva or the ones from the squeeze repo will be good? Do I need kms enabled, i.e. install firmware-linux-nonfree?
I recently installed Deluge 1.2.0 from the following PPA:[URL]I using this on two different Linux computers. One is running Linux Mint 8 and the other is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10. The first time on either computer when I enable WebUI in the Deluge GUI it works fine. However if I ever disable it in plugins section I am subsequently unable to re-enable it (doesn't appear in the side panel again). Rebooting or reinstalling Deluge seems to have no effect.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) & recently added Ubuntu Studio to it. For quite some time, I'm trying to enable direct 3d acceleration on a virtual XP SP3 machine running over VMware Workststion 7.0.1.
As per VMware forums & many other sites, 3d hardware acceleration is supported for XP as guest provided that host Linux version is supported by the VMware product running that VM.
The forum also says that Ubuntu 9.10 is now supported by Workstation 7.0.1.
So: I have a supported version of host (Ubuntu 9.10) XPSP3 as guest. Latest version of VMware tools installed. Still I don't get hardware acceleration for the guest XP VM.
I'm trying to reorganize my files and organize my music on Rhythmbox, but I've run into a really annoying problem. The cover art for one song on a particular album isn't right. All the other songs in the album are displaying properly.
I have the album cover in the same folder that the music is in with the name "Cover.jpg".
I've tried about everything I can think of. I've tried renaming the image file, tried dragging it to the album art area in the player, and I've tried moving it to the Rhythmbox folder under the name "~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers/Artist Name - Album Name.jpg" (Of course inserting the correct album name and artist name exactly the way it is shown in Rhythmbox). It will change if I drag and drop it, but once I go back and play the song again, it will revert to the wrong cover art.
I have tried many ways to enable vdpau support in my machine but for no avail. A member here helped me very much but I couldn't manage to succeed. My system has Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, Nvidia 8500GT 512mb, Intel Core 2 duo. I have installed Nvidia driver version 195 currently available from their site. I tried compiling mplayer with vdpau support from various tutorials thread here around in Ubuntu forums.
Is there anyone in this forum with Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit with the same other system requirements as mine who have successfully managed to make the VDPAU work?
I am unable to play audio CDs. I have 2 CD drives and upon insertion of of a CD into the top drive, it notices the CD and asks what I want to do... Play with Kaffeine results in it opening, but then nothing happens. When I do the same thing with the CD in the bottom drive, it plays the first track of the CD but nothing else. Every time. With different CDs.

If you still want to enjoy it as here : [URL] it can be compiled along with amarok, as it was just moved to "playground". Here we go :
1. download the amarok sources either through git clone or using 2.3.1 sources
2. cp -rf amarok/playground/context/applets/coverbling amarok/src/context/applets/
3. edit amarok/src/context/applets/CMakeLists.txt and append "add_subdirectory( coverbling )" to the file to enable the applet compilation
4. follow the regular - understand : "not for beginners" amarok git compilation process ad documented elsewhere (for instance : [URL]

I recently got a new ATI HD 4890 graphics card that supports sound over HDMI. It works in my other OS (Windows 7) but I cannot get it to work in Xubuntu. I read somewhere that by default the open source drivers have HDMI sound disabled. How do I turn it on? I even tried the Comprehensive Sound Problems Solutions Guide and still have no sound.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed libvdpau and then I installed the nvidia vdpau software. I was following some steps from another post. When I run XBMC and hit 'O' I can see that the gcpu is still not doing any work (0 - 6%), the two computer cpus are doing all the work. They run at 30%'ish on 720p content and that renders smooth. No prob there. However, the cpus jump up to 50%+ (both cpus) on 1080p content and they can't keep the frame rate steady. It jumps around significantly so of course the movie stutters. No, the network is not the issue. Its completely wired gigabit end to end. Plus I'm running the video from the local hard drive and it doesn't change.
So... the solution is to get VDPAU working and so far I haven't found the right instructions.
Here's the problem.I've got an ati 4330 in a Dell 1464 laptop. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 64 bits. It didn't enable compiz by default, so I downloaded the proprietary drivers (fglrx) using synaptic. After that I got compiz working, but... I get this window tearing. I don't know how to explain it, it's something like this:This is a regular window with open source ati driver (0's are windows, ignore the dashes)

I get this message when one mp3 players gets fully charged.
This is a writeup to help you enable your Hauppauge 1250 tv tuner card so you can use it with programs such as Mythtv. This will enable multiple cards. I am assuming your card isn't working "out of the box". You can check if it is recognized in the OS by following the instructions in "How to tell if the TV card is recognized" below.
In linux land, the 1250 is not just a 1250 but can be a variety of designations. I own older 1250's which are listed as 1270's. My newer cards are listed as 1255's. These cards usually don't work "out of the box" with linux. You have learn the ropes and enable them yourself. You have to have time on your hands and be a glutton for punishment when it comes to setting up linux but a stable, well running system is worth it. If you need everything done for you and want it "out of the box", you might as well ride back to Bill Gates' Boneless Chicken Ranch.
First off, here is an updated cardlist for the cx23885 driver that is used with the 1250 amongst other tuner cards:

I have a Acer Aspire Revo R3600 running Ubuntu 10.10. Its a clean install, all I have done is update the NVidia drivers and ASLA. The PC connects to my AV Receiver via HDMI and I have stereo sound but no surround sound. If I go to System > Preferences > Sound and look under the hardware tab I only have "Internal Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output" and no mention of surround sound or 5.1 etc. I assume this is part of the problem.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Ubuntu 11.04 on a netbook, and I'm getting a lot of tearing on video playback--both online and offline. The graphics card is some generic intel card, and there doesn't seem to be a driver for it. So, is there a way to enable vsync without having a proprietary driver?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have done a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04. Everything is fine, Ubuntu seemed to be using the opensource ati drivers upon first boot.
Then prompted that I install the ati catalyst control center/drivers from additional drivers which I did.Again smooth sailing untill I decided to enable my HD tv (hdmi) as my secondary screen. This again worked fine cloned. But I could not enable extended. The option is available but requires xinerama to be enabled.
After restarting I could not login. Read up on this and others have has this issue with different cards. I proceeded to login to ubuntu (no effects) session and then swtiched off xinerama. (this did work in this session). The issue is getting it to work with unity. Logged back into unity now but I don't know how I can enable dual screens in extended mode. There are recomendations on other threads advising to use the open source drivers. But these don't work correctly. The card I am using is an ASUS EAH5570. This I believe has the radeon 5570 chip.
My OS is Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I have been having problems with audio in several of my applications - all of which were fixed by removing Pulseaudio and installing Esound. After uninstalling pulseaudio, there is now no volume bar in the notification applet on my desktop panel.
In addition to this, my volume keys on my keyboard (Lenovo Y550 Ideapad) no longer work. Is there an application I can install that will put a volume bar back on my notification panel (using Esound)?
I also posted this as a question in launchpad, but wasn't sure if this might be a better place. Pretty new to Ubuntu, if you couldn't tell.I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and cheese/skype don't see the webcam built into my machine.
